I wanted to ask: in Journey to Chandara, you have a picture of a feather -- a blackish feather with many white spots. I found the same feather years ago in a park here in British Columbia and have never been able to identify it. Do you know what bird it comes from?<BR/><BR/>Thank you,<BR/>AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12824837016700127596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-22462133695497123512008-01-02T21:34:00.000-05:002008-01-02T21:34:00.000-05:00I really enjoy your blog.

As a frequent business traveller, I find it very rewarding to catch people waiting for flights in my watercolor sketch book. Sometimes, I get my best inspiration from these unsuspecting souls.<BR/>Rob<BR/>robburkhard.comRobrobburkhard.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-67875355758689715742008-01-02T20:27:00.000-05:002008-01-02T20:27:00.000-05:00I think the best character design reference comes ...I think the best character design reference comes from observational drawing. Human beings offer up such intriguing visual and anatomical combinations that most artists would be hard pressed to concoct such individuality from the aether.Kevin Hedgpethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10854497303642372578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-49015872972106331622008-01-02T13:15:00.000-05:002008-01-02T13:15:00.000-05:00Grateful Thanks James....probably this was difficu...Grateful Thanks James....probably this was difficult for David Roberts and William Petrie too...

My wife sings in the church choir and the director has great taste, lots of Tallis and Bach and Faure, and I love to sit and sketch them.<BR/>Happy new year, James, I wish you and your family much success and happiness this year.Eric Orchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375615378259386972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-34642495094462587762008-01-02T10:30:00.000-05:002008-01-02T10:30:00.000-05:00Welcome, Dean, and all other new readers.

Or these days around nuclear plants or airports, I suppose. <BR/><BR/>But some artists have risked their lives to sketch.
